Draco could hear Clavo's order loud and clear, he saw that the leader of the gang, Peruggia had planned to run off, leaving his own men to deal with the wrath of the four devil fruit users. "How cowardly..." he felt bad for the grunts, believing that they have a chance of winning with their morale boosted simply because the leader waved Draco's belongings around, at this point though even a child could see the outcome of how this battle will go. Draco saw what Clavo meant by his order and quickly started to run through the group of men, trying to dash his way across before any of them could block Draco, one was facing Draco head-on but due to Draco's superior speed and strength, he simply shoulder charged against the man before he could attack Draco, easily bashing him out of the way.
The red-haired individual began his annoying chase against the runaway thief, who tried to run away from the clear, flustered hulking man that's trying to hunt him down, along the way Draco had started to inhale for a couple of seconds despite him running, which caused him to slightly go down a few paces but he wasn't too far from where Peruggia is, he started to build up a similar attack from before but this time the entire building would hear this one. Draco opened up his mouth and he let exhaled a visible sound wave that could be seen going across the entire building, which is followed by a thunderous, loud voice. "PEERRRUUUGGGGIIAA!!!!" it spoke. It echoed across the building for a while until it finally died down.
Draco used this attack in the hopes of landing a hit on Peruggia, if not busting out his eardrums and forcing him to slow down somehow. Draco started to return to his normal pace and run towards Peruggia, to try and finish the job and get back his belongings.

Tejedor wasn't having much fun just watching battle; despite his dislike for teamwork, Clavo D. Tejedor still felt an ache for a fight. However, were these grunts worth Tejedor's effort? Morgan seemed to think so, but someone else telling Tejedor what's what is irritating to the arrogant pirate nonetheless. Three conflicting feelings tussled within Tejedor's mind as he contemplated entering the skirmish, but one extra thought came to mind which aided Tejedor's decision; Forcing Morgan to fight so many enemies alone is unreasonable - he'll die before he can blossom...hrn, fine. Having decided to aid the supposedly overwhelmed Morgan, Clavo D. Tejedor took his time walking closer to the remaining goons with a deep snarl on his face.
"One at a time, OR ELSE!"
Giving a command to the enemy, perhaps the battle could be won through intimidation alone. Despite having had the upper hand in terms of numbers, the grunts were losing left and right so numbers didn't matter. Inevitably, Peruggia's gang was whittled down to a handful, including Peruggia who was being chased by Draco. Speaking of Draco, a loud roar could be heard in the distance. Combined with the destruction of Morgan's Devil Fruit, Yuki's stone cold demeanor, and Tejedor's barking, perhaps the quadruple intimidation would create a convenience? These heathens better run before I crush their throats under my heel. Simply beating them half to death wouldn't be satisfying enough.
Peruggia's gang was being whittled down like wood against a sword. Seemingly nothing could be done against four Devil Fruit users, but perhaps Peruggia, the gang's leader, could change the outcome with a swift and decisive victory? Unfortunately, Draco's earth-shaking roar proved to frighten Peruggia's goons further, especially when the roar was followed by a feminine screech.
"EEEEEEEEEP!?"
Attempting to run from Draco only caused Peruggia to become an easy target. Back turned and momentum unhinged, Peruggia was struck in his back by Draco's ball of sound. The attack didn't deal too much damage, but Peruggia was knocked off balance nonetheless. With a quick tumble and crash, Peruggia had no other choice but to resort to combat, "Thiefiefiefiefief...what could I have done to deserve your violent hatred? I am just a thief...I have not hurt you...yet-!" From his downed position, Peruggia used his Quick Draw technique in an attempt to fire all the rounds in his two pistols at Draco for a quick and easy kill. Granted, perhaps this battle could have been solved in a non-violent fashion if not for Peruggia's instincts taking over; the tricky thief's short speech highlighting Draco's violent behavior could have struck a cord with Draco - if not for the subsequent volley bullets.
Meanwhile with the grunts, Tejedor barked orders to fight one at a time. With the number still a bit in their favor, the logic within the grunts attempted to move them forward and continue attacking. However, the instincts within the grunts overpowered their bodies and caused the weak willed men to shake in their shoes, "Fuck...I can't move! I-I-I don't want to keep doing this! Thieving for fun isn't worth the p-p-pain!" One grunt dropped his weapon and ran for his life. This sudden action spurred similar thoughts within the remains of the gang, causing an exponential decrease in willpower; one after another, grunts dropped their weapons and ran for a more decent lifestyle. Thievery was fun until it wasn't.

Yuki watched as the three men mowed down enemies left and right, taking down some and making other run away in fear. She needed to get stronger, otherwise she'd never have a place to belong, or a place to call her own. Not to mention that she would be dragged back to that hellhole easily.
She needed to get stronger, to be able to protect herself and her allies. There had to be some way she could get stronger. If there was such an opportunity, then she'd wait for it to come. And if it doesn't come, then she would seek it out.

After the encouragement, Draco started to dash forward, piercing through the flock of the grunts. He immediately entered the building and chased after Peruggia. Morgan, on the outside, was holding the ground. He would block the way to the building if one of Peruggia’s men would try to enter the building to stop Draco. Morgan knew that it was the only chance Draco had to end the life of Peruggia’s gang. He couldn’t let anyone stop the ending from happening. The building was shaken to its core and the men below could feel the vibration of sound, and a shout of Peruggia’s name. It seemed Draco had unleashed his wrath upon the leader. Morgan couldn’t see what’s happening inside but he knew Draco would win. After all, he was a man with an extraordinary power. The number of Peruggia’s men was dwindling faster than they thought. It was whittled down to the point Peruggia’s men didn’t have the intention to fight even further, they lost their morale and it seemed the prize Peruggia offered couldn’t match with the desire to live. Weapons dropped after one another, and the grunts started to run away for their life. A smirk was carved in Morgan’s face, it seemed they won the battle on the ground and their job would be done with Peruggia’s defeat. “It’s all up to Draco now. He definitely will end this!” |

Draco felt offended by the acclaimed innocence of the thief, before Draco could even give an answer to the downed thief, he started to discharge his pistols by trying to spray Draco with bullets. Draco's quick speed allowed him to get into cover to block off some of the bullets that scraped against the metal cover Draco is behind, but two bullets did hit Draco, one grazed his left shoulder and another one hitting the left side of Draco's front stomach. He could definitely feel the bleeding and the pain but he's gone too far now for some wound to slow him down. When the bullets would stop being fired at Draco however, he instantly turned over the corner and opening up his mouth to reveal a small, ball of white which instantly got shot out and launched straight for Peruggia, to which Peruggia easily dodges by using his move Slippery Drunkard and did a quick axis turn with one of his legs, strafing to the side as if the sound ball were effortless to dodge. "Thiefiefief... you should know, speed can outlast raw power." Draco took this as a direct challenge and started to rush straight for the thief, it didn't take long for Draco to start swinging powerful punches towards the thief which started to slightly make him walk back while dodging, despite the speed and power supporting Draco's punches, the thief was simply faster and kept dodging each powerful swing. Peruggia capitalised on his superior speed, and in one opening did a swift kick against Draco's bulky right leg, more so around the shin in an attempt to lower the taller red-haired individual, but despite the effective kick Draco kept standing tall, though he definitely did the feel the pain of that one. "Durable bastard, aren't ya?" Peruggia commented before attempting another kick at Draco's right leg again, but this time towards the upper area, luckily Draco manged to catch the foot, preventing the attack and used it to roughly pull in Peruggia, who's face would be met with a powerful punch from Draco, knocking him back a few. After getting launched to the ground, Peruggia showed some groans of pain and a bit of struggle before he just stopped moving. Draco walked over and crouched down to see if the thief was okay from that attack, but to Draco's surprise it was a last minute ploy by the thief, the instant the thief's upper body shot up from the ground, he quickly jumped to his feet and dashed straight the side of Draco using Snatch and Run but he isn't snatching anything, rather Peruggia jumped onto Draco's back and held on by holding onto Draco's neck, effectively choking him. This forced Draco to stand up out of panic, trying to shake off Peruggia but the lack of air only worsened and Draco's head looked like it was about to pop, one crazy move did pop into Draco's mind at the last second desperation of trying to live, Draco jumped into the air and moved forward his legs so he would land abruptly on his back to the ground, with Peruggia between the mix. When he did so, a powerful slam echoed across the hallway as a result but it worked as Peruggia's hold got weaker, until both of Peruggia's hands just weakly collapsed to the ground, when Draco rolled over the side and started coughing, gasping for air, he could see at the corner of his eye an unconscious Perrugia. Draco, once he caught his breath punched Peruggia's face once again though, just to be sure that it wasn't some trick to get Draco to turn his back but he was sure now, Peruggia is done and out for the count. Draco searched over Peruggia and grabbed all his belongings that Peruggia had on himself, before checking the nearby area a bit to find his missing bag of supplies and essentials. Draco managed to catch and beat the thief that stole his supplies and he got them back, a victory at the end of the day. He started to make his way out of the area and reunite with his new friends.

Beginning to Escape: Conquering Bad Timing! Several sounds could be heard from the thief's hideout. These sounds, likely of violence, tempted Tejedor to enter the building and peek upon Draco's battle against Peruggia the thief. However, one last, loud sound shook the rickety hideout and Draco exited shortly thereafter. Tejedor couldn't care less about Draco's belongings - Tejedor's care for Draco all pointed towards a future target to hunt and see intense thrill from. Tejedor was glad the fight was kept away from prying eyes, purposefully or not - to see the skills of a future target is to spoil the ending to a great story, sometimes. Other times a story can only be understood once the ending becomes clear, though Tejedor preferred the thrill of a mystery nonetheless. "Sir! Come quick! Peruggia and his men have been defeated!"From with the hideout Draco exited, the sounds of boots on rust could be heard coupled with Marine-like speech; from Tejedor's understanding, the Marines of Spider Miles decided to try and take out Peruggia upon discovering the thief's hideout, or something of that nature. Based on the yelling, the Marines were surprised which could mean one of two things; the Marines would praise or arrest Tejedor and his crew. From experience, Tejedor knew the Marines weren't the most reasonable law enforcement, so upon instinct Tejedor felt the need to run and hide. For better or for worse, Tejedor's instinct was proven correct; "WHAT!? Arrest whoever did this! If we had so much trouble against Peruggia's gang, then who knows how much trouble Peruggia's assailants could cause! And send word to Squad 2 - secure the main route!"Unfortunately, a swarm of nine marines followed Draco out of the defeated thief's hideout. Without time to recover from their previous struggles, Tejedor and his crew must struggle some more against the oncoming Marines; Tejedor decided the optimal form of struggle was an endurance struggle, "Time to leave Spider Miles - to the nearest port!" However, running away would lead them to Squad 2 - a second set of nine marines blocking the main route towards the port. Unfortunately, there wasn't much else to do for the time being, so falling into the blockade's lap would have to happen. For now, Tejedor simply ran from the pesky, teamworking Marines following behind Draco. The Marines can eat my supreme tailwind - I refuse to do battle against an organized group of law enforcers! |

Yuki watched as the Marines converged upon the area. She frowned a bit. She had heard tales about the Marines being glorified lapdogs of the Celestial Dragons, going as far as to retrieve their wayward property for them. She realized they probably weren't here for that, but it didn't hurt to be cautious. She felt the mark on her back, the mark that denoted her as no more than property. She turned around in time to see the three men flee. She decided that she should stick with them, safety and numbers and all that. Besides, she needed some kind of increase in physical abilities. She had been too reliant on her Devil Fruit ability, and that needed to change if she were to achieve her dreams.
With that, she took off running in the same direction that the three men were going, hoping that she'd be able to catch up with then soon. Her legs hurt a bit, but she endured it, ignoring the pain she felt. She needed too, if she were gonna meet her mentor someday, as someone who held the absolute freedom in her grasp. That was the promise they made to each other, to meet again once they achieved that ideal. She remained focused on the task at hand, which was getting away as fast as possible. She could make out the outlines of the buildings, even though they were obscured by the distance. The buildings looked like lighthouses, which meant that there was a harbor there.

The ground was finally neutral and calm. Sweats caused by the sweltering heat streamed down Morgan’s forehead. Morgan and the rest had blind sight on the condition of Draco and Peruggia. It would be bad if they entered the building as they wouldn’t know if there was an ambush set in the building or something happened outside while they were inside. Morgan was staggered from the sudden vibration that rattled the entire building. Everything seemed violent and he hoped deeply inside that it was Draco who caused it to Peruggia as the victim. It would be bad if it was the other way around. Morgan sighed in relief as he saw Draco’s face appearing from the door of the building.
A smile was flashed by Morgan, feeling happy for Draco’s victory over the thief’s boss. Before they could celebrate the victory and congratulate Draco for what he did, a voice could be heard and sounds of trudging footsteps were drawing closer to Morgan and his friends’ locations. “Storm is brewing” Morgan stated. He felt the approaching footsteps were from local authority, possibly marines if Spider Miles didn’t have any local security volunteers. Things wouldn’t go smoothly for them if they stayed around the thief’s hideout, they could be easily mistaken as another thief in rival with the Peruggia’s gang or simply another threat to the peace of Spider Miles. Morgan finally caught a glimpse on the marine’s symbol of justice on a hat and on the back of a shirt. “Yes, escaping this is our best chance!” Morgan shouted as he began escaping along with Clavo. “At least for now.” He muttered under his breath. He couldn’t believe what he saw. From one problem born another and it could be prolonged unnecessarily. He had many things to achieve before he could end his journey and Spider Miles wouldn’t be the end of the line especially when he had formed new chapters along his new acquaintances that somehow grouped together through chains of disasters. This would be another day to remember. |

Yuki and Morgan followed Tejedor's lead and ran towards the direction of the nearest harbor. However, as mentioned earlier, the Marines were blocking the way. Tejedor felt like ducking into a nearby alleyway, but the number of marines kept inflating until finally two rows of nine marines had successfully surrounded the pirate crew; one row of nine marines in the front with another in the back. Hrm...more teamwork... The idea of teamwork was being forced on to Tejedor too often for comfort. Stopped in his tracks, Tejedor looked around to see if there were any exists present, but none were made clear. However, an exit was not the only absence within this situation;
"Where's Draco?"
Without thinking, Tejedor spoke aloud. Thankfully Tejedor's unsavory inner thoughts didn't surface, but Tejedor didn't like his lapse in judgement all the same. This teamwork garbage is getting to my head! First I speak my thoughts for my crew to hear and then what!? Frowning and cursing under his breathe, Tejedor readied himself for combat against the eighteen marines. There was no choice now but to work together with Yuki and Morgan to take down the oppressively teamwork-oriented, organized group of law-bringers!
"Never mind, forget him. Let us just...work...together...to defeat these heathens."
Yuki and Morgan might hear Tejedor's teeth grinding against one another when the words 'work together' were squeezed between the teamwork-loathing pirate's teeth. Anyway, with a quick step towards the front row of marines, Tejedor punched a seemingly new recruit square in the face for maximum hurt. Cull the weak, prune the strong. Heh heh heh. With another punch and subsequent kick, Tejedor felled two more new-looking marines without realizing the joy he was feeling; despite the teamwork which was about to ensue, Clavo D. Tejedor was enjoying himself.

The current situation made Yuki uncomfortable. Memories resurfaced in her brain. The bad kind of memories, ones with bad kind of people. The people who believed they were Gods and that those of lesser birth were there to serve them. Those who were exempt from law, who could get the enforcers of justice to look the other way.
Yuki had several unwanted encounters with them. Not only did she have to watch them hurt other people - her mentor included - but they've also hurt her in more ways than one. Yuki wasn't stupid. Celestial Dragons and other people with noble birth may have been the ones running the show, but they were unaware of who gave them the power they had. The Marines were the ones who truly kept them in power. Yuki knew that to remove the problem, you first had to remove that which was causing it, and then it would go away on its own.
Which meant that Yuki had no qualms about doing what she was about to do. All she was doing was making the problem go away by removing the thing that caused it. To remove the nobility from power, the very group protecting them from wrath of the populace were the Marines, who professed to be defenders of justice when they were not, needed to be removed first. Once they were gone, everything else would right itself. And Yuki would play her part in making sure it happened.
She aimed a punch at the Marine agent nearest to her.

Swiftly, the group made their way towards their escape. Spider Miles wouldn’t be the end line of their dreams, it seemed. But as the seafaring men said, you shouldn’t celebrate before it’s finished. Morgan was about to smile from the excitement but he had to take down the grin from his face as the group encountered more marines on their way. From the look of it, they were not planning to let the group have a safe trip as if they were on vacation. They were there to remind that the law was above anyone and those who were against it would face harsh consequences.
“I don’t want to be jailed in some random bases. But, Impel Down sounds good.” He mumbled something as they began to slow down to avoid the incoming rows of marines. The dream of being so infamous that he would be instantly taken to Impel Down instead of the normal jails drove him to move forward but for now, he could only fantasize about it. As Morgan scanned his surroundings, he realized that there were only 3 of them and after analyzing the situation carefully, he realized Draco wasn’t with them. Morgan began to worry because he didn’t want to leave anyone but on the other hand, he thought that Draco could handle himself and he could be hiding somewhere, preparing to ambush or flank the rows of marines. He once again placed trust upon his crew mates.
Truly a joyous day to start their first journey together so leaving the island is a must. Another history’s being written down as Tejedor unleashed his wrath upon the marines and Yuki took down a marine near her. Morgan abruptly slid towards the marines and swept them off their feet, causing a couple of marines to tumble and meet the ground. He delivered a quick punch towards one falling soldier and tried to stand in order to prepare for the next wave of attacks. At that moment, none of them used their fruits’ abilities but soon, they would be forced to.

Yuki aimed another kick at the Marines blocking the path. She remembered her old teacher's words, about how she must not show the mercy to her enemies, because they would show her none, and that there were worse fates to be had than simply dying. That knowledge, along with her desire for absolute freedom, encouraged her to fight. If this continued on like this, she might have to use her sword, she realized.
